lyrics

YOU GOT THROUGH

I was in a fortress
In the heart of Antarctica
Underneath a glacier
I made sure nobody ever saw

But somehow you found me
I don’t know how but you tracked me down
You put your arms around me
You pulled me up from underground

You are the wind I could not win against
You are the storm that broke down my best defense
Oh my heart was barricaded
Nothing could invade it
Nowhere to break into
But you got through

You started a fire
And it melted all the ice within me
But as the temperature rose higher
It ate up all the oxygen

And so I started running
Seemed like the only thing that I could do
But everywhere I went
I only found myself without you

You are the wind I could not win against
You are the storm that broke down my best defense
Oh my heart was barricaded
Nothing could invade it
Nowhere to break into
But you got through

'Cause you cut through my barbed wire
Found your way to my signal fire
And you made me feel so alive

I was hiding down in my hole
Too terrified to lose control
And you said, I wanna hold the hand inside you

I think about you sometimes
Sometimes I don’t think about you at all
I wonder if you’ve changed
If I wouldn’t recognize you anymore

All that I have left now
Are jagged shards of your memory
Still I try to piece them together
Into who you were when you were with me

You are the wind I could not win against
You are the storm that broke down my best defense
Oh my heart was barricaded
Nothing could invade it
Nowhere to break into
But you got through
